Mr. Murphy gathered us around Put us in the dying field He said, "Men, it's been a bad year around here" He said we should play a little game To alleviate this pain So he grabbed my pop by the neck I guess my pop played his game [Spoken] See y'all, me myself, I was just watchin' the men scuffle their boots on the ground and lookin' dog-faced, not lookin' one-another in the eye. An' see, me myself, I was ducked down behind this dirt pile and not understandin' this game that was goin' on until Mr. Murphy, until he caught my eye [Chorus] And if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again All your cattle, I will hang And if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again All your crops, they'll go, they'll go away So I ran seven miles out to Murphy's farm I threw a rock at the window And Isabella Murphy, she sauntered down the stairs She grabbed my wrists, she said "Let's go" And then she pulled me out to the dying field Pushed me down and straddled me there Then I cupped my hands between her crotch Caught the water from her hair [Spoken] And with my hands cupped, holdin' Isabella's water, I shoved her out of the way and I ran seven miles back into my hometown. I came to the town well, held my hands, cupped with Isabella's water high, opened 'em up, and now this town, it knows the Murphy's hell
